one of the things i really like about sdv Elliott is that he apparently moved into town a solid year before you… specifically to write his book… and yet he still doesn’t even have a genre picked out. unreal. im wild about him. writer mood

“He and Guzman didn’t have any say in their karaoke song (which still remains a secret)”

“Certain scenes needs a little bit of inhibition-shedding help”

i am CONVINCED now that the karaoke song is Unwritten by Natasha Bedingfeild and no one can convince me otherwise.

also just wanna say how much i love that Oliver had no fear in kissing a man for this show, but is scared shitless to sing one song. i love that man so much.

Trying to write fiction about women who are detached intellectuals is challenging because

a. This is already a relatively rare trope for men

b. When men are portrayed this way they’re often a side character not the main

c. There are very few portrayals of women with this personality at all and almost none with a main character

d. Women with this personality fail so many standards of femininity that there aren’t even old archetypes or stories about them you can rely on

So far I’ve been practicing by writing male characters like this then gender swapping the words to refer to them, but this fails to touch on what it’s like to be a woman with these characteristics. Such a woman cannot help but notice how her gender holds her back, the prevalence of ancient misogyny, etc. As much as she may want to essentially be a gender swapped male, she isn’t. Writing that honestly requires imagination because existing media sure isn’t gonna help you.

If she’s gnc, forget it, you’re basically inventing it from scratch at that point. You never realize how much you rely on existing tropes as a writer until you come to a place where there are no older tropes to rely on!

Barring any new asks, I think that's the last of those 'icons only' memes and it was very fun doing them all! Thank you so much for sending them in everyone, I'm feeling more confident about activity again and will hopefully be inspired to write a bit more often from now on providing schedule eases up sometime soon!

Orange Leaves

I'm not as happy with how this one came out because I couldn't get her hand right this time around 😭

The next one won't have mitten hands though.

Anyway, this one was a little harder. I know I love fall sweaters, and I think Amy likes them okay, but when it comes to fall vibes, I don't feel like she's that into them. But sometimes she'll spend a day reading a romance novel (she LOVES them, she's very much a romantic (obviously lol)). She'd also snack on sweets. I feel like her favorite thing to snack on when she's reading would be like those strawberry kit-kats? Ik they don't really sell them much outside of Japan, so I mean strawberry pocky works too lol

Also

She's very much a shojo anime/manga lover lol
